📋 Decklist Procedures

📩 Decklist Submission

• your decklist is only final once the tournament starts, so edit it as many times as you like and/or make sure all information is correct
  • this is the decklist you must play for the ENTIRETY of the tournament, including the ENERGY you select
  • your decklist submission and the deck you use in the tournament are not allowed to have its cards changed after the tournament has started
• the point of the decklist submission is to declare precisely which exact FUNCTIONAL versions of cards and which energies you will use for the purpose of deck checking players and for sharing lists for data on limitless
  • you will not be penalized if you use an alternate art version of a registered diamond card and vice versa (e.g. shiny Froakie instead of A1 Froakie)
  • if a card is FUNCTIONALLY different (art or not) or you use the wrong energy, it WILL count as an incorrect decklist (e.g. A1 Froakie vs B1 Froakie)

⚠️ Decklist Penalties

• call a judge if you notice your opponent's functional cards not matching their decklist
• if you are in the FIRST game of a match and you accidentally selected the wrong deck:
  • reveal the card to prove the mistake
  • restart the game with the correct deck
  • further mistakes will result in a game loss for the match

🏆🏆🏆

✔️ Check-Ins

These are mandatory attendance checks that are tracked by the Limitless system, so please do not miss them if you are ready.

☑️ Tournament Check-In

• these will be opened and announced 1-2 hours before the tournament starts, and you only need to do this part once
• players who fail to check in will be removed from the tournament but may still register late (with a default loss)

🏆🏆🏆

⚔️ Match Structure

Players will play through Single Elimination Brackets with Best of 5 Games.

• you may start your first match when the announcement is made on discord
• if you lose the match, you are eliminated from the tournament
• Rounds are untimed
• Play all your next bracket opponents as they are available
  • we intend to keep the pacing going so we can get through matches at a reasonable time for everyone
  • at top 4 bracket, please wait for instructions
  • if anything changes it will be announced
• for every 5 minutes a player does not show up for a MATCH, they will receive a GAME LOSS

🏆🏆🏆

⚖️ Judges and Match Rulings

• call judges using Limitless first if there are any major issues/concerns involving the tournament matches; calling as early as possible will allow better handling of the situation
• If your BO5 match is completed but the result isn’t submitted in time, call a judge and have a screenshot ready to submit as evidence
• for complex situations or disputes, our judge team will quickly consult with each other and give the ruling they decide to be the most fair
• if you have questions/concerns outside the context of your game, you may use judge calls at the end of your match to speak with a judge

❌ Incorrect Match Reports

• get in the habit of screenshotting your victory screens, including the opponent's name, so you can quickly call a judge to resolve incorrect match reporting
• if both players in a match cannot provide sufficient evidence to settle a dispute, the match will be marked as a double game loss

🔄 Ties

To minimize issues with match ties and regulate tournament pacing:

If a Bo5 potentially ends up creating a MATCH TIE, another game may be played to determine a MATCH WINNER. Ask a judge for clarification if needed.

📶 Connection Issues and Turn 0 Situations

We have no control over external factors such as ISP issues, device issues, or weather issues, so do the best you can to resolve things on your end. We will enforce the following rules to help pace the tournament

• if the game fails to start, you may restart your game
• if a disconnect happens during the game, the player with the Victory Screen will be awarded the game win

🏆🏆🏆

🚫 Player Conduct and Rule Violations

• WARNINGS will be given to players who engage in toxic behavior, unsportsmanlike conduct, and rule sharking
  • players continuing to repeat offenses (including those from our previous tournaments) will be dropped from the tournament
  • severe offenses may warrant a ban from our community and our tournaments (you will be monitored and forcibly dropped if you attempt to join after this fact)
